Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you try to break into our systems?
Not as part of the standard review. Any intrusive or disruptive test requires a separate written scope and permission.
Do we need a security team?
No. The service is designed to give small organisations a clear, understandable starting point.
Can you help implement the findings?
Yes. Quick wins, projects, and ongoing support can be scoped after the review.
